“…Semen preservation is still a limiting parameter for the extensive commercial application programs in rabbits [60]. The survival rate of rabbit sperm drastically decreased after 36 h, and its fertilizing potentiality diminished after 16 h of storage [61].…”

Article HistoryThe anaerobic probiotic technology (ZAD) is a patented technique. The products are in two forms either liquid or powder. The powder products are coated so it can handle the pressure and the temperature of the extruders. They are fed as follows; 10 gm/head /day for large animals or 1 kg/ tone of fed (for ZADO). In case of Liquid (ZAD); it is fed 10 ml/head/day for large animals and 1.5 ml liter for poultry and rabbits. It decreases the aflatoxins less than 11% by inclusion rate of 7% of ZAD in 7 hours. They are helping the animals to cope with heat stress. Their ability to decrease the cholesterol and triglycerides are noticed by 21 and 19%, respectively. The birds and animal immunity is elevated too. Animal performances are improved in animals fed either form. Milk production increased in dairy cattle (1.5 kg/animal/day) and dairy buffaloes (1kg/head/day). The same trend was recorded for meat production in cattle, buffaloes, and sheep (220, 180 and 90 gm/head/day, respectively as an average daily gain). For poultry, it helped in decreasing the fattening period by 5 days. In fish, the final weight increased by 18%. For rabbits, it increased the milk production, decreased the mortality rate, increased the average daily gain, and improved all over physiological aspects of rabbits.Contribution/Originality: This study documents the impact of probiotics on the growth performances and nutritional aspects of dairy animals, poultry, rabbit, fish, and beef. The primary contribution of this review article is to analyze the influence of anaerobic probiotic technology on the performances and other physiological aspects of ruminant and non-ruminant animals.

“…Several studies had been conducted to improve the preservation protocols and the extender composition [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Unfortunately, rabbit spermatozoa had a restricted capacity to withstand the chilling [5,6] or frozen storage [11] is limited.…”

“…In rabbit production, AI is usually performed with refrigerated semen (Roca et al, 2000;López-Gatius et al, 2005;Gogol and Wierzchoś-Hilczer, 2009). Many studies on additives for rabbit semen extenders have been done to improve the quality of stored spermatozoa (López and Alvariño, 2000;Roca et al, 2000;Nagy et al, 2002).…”

Effect of lycopene supplementation on semen quality and reproductive performance in rabbit

A total of 18 hybrid strain Martini male rabbits were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups. The animals in the first and second groups drank water with 0.1 and 0.5 g/L of lycopene addition (0.1 and 0.5 groups, respectively), while water without any supplement was administered to the control group rabbits (0 group) for 8 wk. Semen was collected from 18 bucks (6 animals/group) for 5 consecutive weeks. Ejaculate volume was determined by graduated test tube and sperm concentration was calculated by Neubauer chamber. Sperm motility was evaluated subjectively by a phase contrast microscope and forward progressive motility (FPM) scored 1-4 (low-high). Sperm viability was assessed by nigrosin/eosin (N/E) staining procedure. At the end of the semen evaluation period, 20 females/group were inseminated on day 11 post partum with a pool of semen collected from each experimental group. Data showed that the highest level of lycopene (0.5 group) resulted in a significantly greater volume of ejaculate and total number of sperm than in the control group (0.98 vs. 0.78 mL and 364 vs. 227; P<0.05), while sperm concentration was not affected. Lycopene addition did not significantly affect the sperm quality of fresh semen, but influenced the semen traits during storage (24 h at 5°C). In particular, the motility, FPM and viability of the 0.5 group were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those found in the 0 and 0.1 groups. No significant differences were found in reproductive performance. This study shows the positive effects of lycopene supplementation on semen production and refrigerated semen characteristics. Lycopene supplementation of drinking water could have interesting applications in field conditions, although further research into the role of this antioxidant in animal production is needed.
